Third Eye Orchestra Workshop

Third Eye Orchestra Workshop Saturday, Jan 10, 2015 from 3 to 6pm

Originally inspired by a performance of the David Murray Bigband conducted by Craig Harris at the Knitting Factory some time in the 90s, Hans Tammen creates open form multi-movement pieces with a large variety of ensembles for over a decade. All About Jazz called the music “nothing short of breathtaking”, and “a masterpiece of musical evocation”.

If you are moderately comfortable reading a score (we can mail it beforehand if you sign up early), play any kind of brass or reeds, keyboards, voice, string or percussion instrument as well as electronics, and are willing to explore new horizons, this workshop may be for you. Here’s what I will work on:

Location:

Timeline:

3pm: we will meet for the workshop, where we will go through the score, and we experiment with the material to find out what works best for the performers. You need to be on time at 3pm!

5pm: the public performance of this orchestra. You have to attend both workshop and performance, of course. Invite your friends, so they can brag later about it.

[Just FYI there is also a performance of my regular Third Eye Orchestra later that night at 8pm.]

Sign Up:

I need to know who’s coming, to have the score ready. Send me an email to hans@tammen.org, and what instrument you are playing. The workshop is limited to 20 people, otherwise the sugarcube will be blown up.
